Talk:Flehmen response

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Flehmen in non-mammals

although am yet to find any reliable references for it, i would suggest that snakes also exhibit flehmen to when using their forked tongues. The Vomeronasal organ is used in this process (see article). Will try to find out abit more about whether this is true flehmen. If indeed it is, the article would need a rewrite to remove references to mammalian only responses. Goldfinger820 22:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] grimace similar to the flehmen response

"A grimace similar to the flehmen response may also be seen in association with pain. In horses it is often associated with low grade abdominal pain."
Should a flehmen-like response be included in the article? As article is about the response, not behaviour that resembles the response, I wouldn't think so. Poor little horsies :-(--Shirt58 (talk) 11:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
